Doug is in his own little world... the little voices in his head keep telling him the RSX is like a ferrari and makes girls shiver for it... 
Again, I state if the RSX was such a DOMINATE car as you portray it, then why did Acura pull it off production? Tell me doug, what do the little voices in your head say?
As for a pmohr stated, a rotary engine is cool with me in a RX body... if I were EVER were to do a engine swap... i wouldn't mind trying a LSX swap... that would be interesting... and no I wouldn't put a k20z1 engine in it... I wouldn't want to insult Nissan with such a degrading part.

wow 2 pages of crap talking..wtf happened??
Hey pmohr@Altered, do u know what the boxster, s2000, mr2-spyder, z3/z4,solstice/sky all have in common??
they wouldnt even be here if not for the miata...
i dont mean to sound overly defensive or offensive either..it just seems silly to say that the miata isnt a sports car when almost every major manufacturer started making roadsters again after its success...
and when u read a comparo...road test....auto mag review....they almost always compare it to some aspect of the miata whether mostly about handling characteristics or the gearbox....no not about power..but still..give some credit where it is due man
now can we get back on topic....instead of letting doug the 10th grader kill this thread

90% of max torque from 4k-8.5k isnt a big enough powerband for u
not to mention it takes up less space than 2.0l 4 banger
u sir must not be a very happy man...with standards like that

I said a 500+ car cant hook up on street tires in first. Featherng the clutch means your not putting down 100% of your power. Im done with this thread. Ill respond to you when you and a sports car gnite

Production stopped for the Supra in the U.S. in 98 due to tougher emission standards in the U.S...
RSX in the other hand, was ceased due to marketability, where in which the Civic SI was preferred. Honda Civic SI > Acura RSX <= Honda Corp. views
POS? possibly...So one was forced to stop production and one was stopped because the company didn't think it would do any better than it's cheaper counter part.
So stop watching pokemon, and do your history homework... choose a better comparisons next time.

How sexy would that be..... AWD rb 350z ^^ now thats something different. just motor is for pansies lol j/p
only reason i say this is because if your planning on a 500+ hp build... lol RWD just spins in first and second... awd you would have much more useable power
